A couple years ago, a solid 336 on Gunbroker was easy to find at $500-600. Now, the prices are absolutely insane. I realize it's partly the panic and partly because JM stamps look more collectible post-Remlin and now into the Ruger iterations... but yeesh.

It’s nuts! I remember going to gun shows 5-6 years ago and you could pick up a 336 for $300. Careful of gunbroker! They are starting to have a lot of issues with scammers. But to your question I doubt stuff will ever drop back as low as it once was.

I think the market is real slow now. I have been trying to sell a 336SC for some time now. I think part of the issue is that ammo is so hard to find. Guys don't want to buy a new gun/caliber and not have ammo for it.

Even the "Remlins" are sky high if you can find one.
The "Ruglins" (Ruger made Marlins) should be hitting the market soon.

For a split second I was interested in a new Henry with the sidegate but for a grand not so much.

Buy once cry once. I like my X model better than any of the Marlins or the Rossi I've owned.

Thanks, Dinny

Henry's don't have the right weight, balance, looks, or ergonomics for me.

I don’t see the prices falling very much. I agree on the Henry’s, love the rimfires, but the centerfires are heavy and too expensive. But they are a great company.

Winchester perfected the handling of leverguns a long time ago. Marlin is just a step behind in that department but still great. Then along comes Henry and they handle like a 2x4.

The Marlins are as much as the Winchesters now. I sold a 1895 SS with a bunch of stuff years back for $800, sure wish I kept it!


Good Shooting!

Crazy times

This '77 336 was $199 out the door at a pawnshop just a dozen years ago. I wish I still have my 1894 in 32/20. I wonder what my 336er would bring today.

With the government printing up trillions it does not have, you can expect prices to go up. I'm thinking owning firearms is a hedge against inflation.

I see lots of big asking prices but not a ton of them are moving at those prices. The better rarer stuff yes but tons of guys don't even stop to look at gun shows once they see a crazy price they leave the whole display that person has and figure there is no way they can meet in the middle. I try to make money off each sale but I just buy and sell to try new guns out, I keep my favorites but move the rest to buy more. Some day all this free money is going to dry up and there will be way less buyers out there.

I live in a Walmart area. That is at the local shows prices that many people are willing to pay is what they think they saw at Walmart a few years ago - then they want a discount if it is used, they think that they can save a buck by pestering you for 15 or more minutes.

On the other hand, look at prices at internet sites. Guns are going for quite a bit more money than a couple years ago. And like I said, the government is handing out a free trillion dollars that they printed and that is just what they recently added - what do you think - where will prices go?

Inflation at its finest.

I see the prices coming back down slightly, but not anytime soon! I want a 444p badly, but not for $2000+

I agree with so many of these posts. I bought a straight stocked 30-30 marlin off a table at a show for $325 two years ago. Little gun was in 95% condition. A buddy of mine offered me a grand for it a couple of weeks ago It’s still in my safe

I am late to the party for sure. I bought my first Marlin back in 1975 and it was a 444. I moved on to bolt guns and that is where I am for the most part today. A couple of years ago I bought a 39 at a gun show and there was a Marlin 44 mag floating around for about $550 that looked almost new. Well that got me fired up on lever actions again and I was going to try and buy a few. I wanted something in a pistol cal. like a 357 or 44, and I wanted a 45/70 and long octagon barrels have always tripped my trigger. Well I started a little too late as what I able to find were starting to bring really big prices and it has done nothing but go up.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
